Well, here we are. The final video for 2021 is now here. As per regular, we have our year in review video. The video has returned to it's pre-2020 format, and hopefully staying like this for the years to come.

First Day of Trains at the New Mooroolbark Station - Melbourne Trains

G'day everyone,
Well, final video for the week, to end off our busy 3 video week.
We've now gone full circle and finishing off the week with a Metro trains video.
Anyways, you may have noticed that there has been a missing post about the Wednesday video. This is since, scheduled uploads don't usually get posted here, as in most cases, I forget to share the video on most external sites, so apologeis.
Anyways, today we head to Mooroolbark Station, on the reopening day, the same as Lilydale Station. Unlike Lilydale being filmed during off peak, Mooroolbark was recorded during the peak.
Till next time, catch you all.

Opening the Victorian Railways D3 Class (D3639 in Red) from Phoenix Repr...

Welcome everyone,
It isn't regular to have another unboxing video so closely to the previous unboxing, but seeing there was quite a lack this year, as we aim for 3-4 a year on the main channel, here's the latest of the models to arrive into the fleet.
Today we take a look at the recently released Phoenix Reproductions Victorian Railways D3 class, and for our variant, we have the Aus Steam 88 version in Canadian Red.
Video has been delayed for a few weeks, as a few issues were found with the first model that arrived. so, despite that, here's the video and the impressions of the model.
Catch you all next time.
Remember there are three videos this week, so next video is on Wednesday, followed by Friday.

K183 Powers Around the Seaside | Steamrail - Sandringham Steam Shuttles ...

G'day everyone,
Second video for the week is now available. This is the second part to our earlier video this week. So as with our last video, we are out once again for the Sandringham Steam Shuttles, but a slight difference in locomotives. K183 has made an appearance, making this her first revenue train since 2002. The locomotive operated the west end of the train replacing K190, who was on it the day before.
Reminder for next week, we intend to have three videos, as since this video is counted as a part 2, technically meant we should have had three videos this week, but has been pushed back due to time restrictions. So, till next week, catch you all again soon.
